Northern Trail Outfitters wants to export a data file to its SFTP using Automation Studio. The file should contain all subscribers who did not receive their intended email in the last 24 hours. The automation will be scheduled to run each day.
Which activity is required in the automation?
Correct Answer: C
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
The correct answer is C - Data Extract Activity.
* Specifically, a Tracking Extract (a type of Data Extract) can pull all Not Sent events within the past 24 hours.
* After extracting, the data can be moved to SFTP via a File Transfer Activity.
#Why others are wrong:
* A: Report Definition Activity runs standard reports - it doesn't create extract files for automation.
* B: SendLog Extract extracts SendLog DEs, not Not Sent tracking events.
* D: SQL Query Activity manipulates DE data but doesn't extract system event data directly.
